A few things I noted from his highlights, he pulled off two top drawer saves from the penalty and Friend, and immediately from the set piece he was let down by his defence. Alongside that, he always makes himself big especially one on one and got so desperately unlucky that Rhodes scuffed his shot for the first goal."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Bet some feel plums for backing him so long
Smithies is a great keeper for us could have keeper in him for next 5years!!!!! Build from the base and he's superb foundationYou should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

Tbf, my view differs massively on that - I thought he was brilliant for us up until this year when, admittedly, he was very poor and rightly bombed off for Smithies. That aside though, my point is that Green is history for us so not even worth discussingYou should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

Originally posted by nanocopic View PostThat Green was still the best goalkeeper in the side and not playing only because of contract. Clearly just a writer who hadnt watched a single match. Intially the contract was the reason, but I don't think he would.have got back in the team had he offered to play for free.

Originally posted by OneJamieMackie View PostHa that's funny, to be honest I don't think many people saw this coming though! Smithies is a shinny light in this season, along with Hall"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Originally posted by nasser95 View PostIf I recall, a lot of people were against signing Smithies as they wanted Bentley and felt that there's a reason that Smithies hasn't moved up from Huddersfield.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

Originally posted by MattyRangers View PostTbf don't recall anybody speaking negatively about Smithies, most of us had never heard of him (me included). I wanted Bentley, but am more than happy with how Smithies has turned out. Bentley will be at a PL club in a couple of years IMO.
